Indiana’s First Abortion Facility Closes Following Supreme Court Decision<\/h2>\n
Whole Woman\u2019s Health Alliance just became Indiana\u2019s first abortion facility to close following the Supreme Court\u2019s Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> decision last summer.<\/p>\n
Since opening its doors in 2019, Whole Women\u2019s Health Alliance (WWHA) in South Bend, Indiana, executed more than 1,100 abortions<\/a>. The facility still plans to refer callers to other abortion providers and to help pay and coordinate travel<\/a> for out-of-state abortions but announced on Monday that it will permanently cease personally ending unborn lives immediately due to<\/a> \u201cpolitically driven and medically unnecessary abortion restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cWhole Woman\u2019s Health has ended the lives of 1000+ preborn [H]oosiers and victimized thousands of women since opening in 2019,\u201d Voices for Life Executive Director Melanie Garcia Lyon said in a statement. \u201cThis is a victory for human rights in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Lyon, who is also the Sidewalk Advocates for Life leader for the South Bend chapter, told The Federalist that the closure feels \u201creally surreal\u201d given all of the time her organization spent praying for it to shutter its doors and offering life-affirming resources<\/a> to pregnant women outside of the facility.<\/p>\n
Protecting Life in the Womb<\/h3>\n
Shortly after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em> in 2022, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and the state\u2019s Republican legislators acted swiftly to protect babies in utero except in cases of rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies<\/a>, or when the mother\u2019s life was at risk.<\/p>\n
The pro-life law<\/a>, which was supposed to take effect in September 2022, would have effectively shut down all seven of the state\u2019s functioning abortion facilities. Instead, it was held up in courts by pro-abortion activists and organizations, including WWHA, which sent the state back to its 20-week gestation abortion limit. Despite this delay, abortions in Indiana still dropped significantly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n
WWHA shut down and rescinded itself from the pro-abortion challenge against the state\u2019s life-forward legislation<\/li>\n
Rogue abortionists are also facing punishment from the state for violating state privacy laws<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In November 2022, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed an administrative action<\/a> against Indiana abortionist Dr. Caitlin Bernard for failing to \u201cuphold legal and Hippocratic responsibilities by exploiting a 10-year-old little girl\u2019s traumatic medical story to the press for her own interests\u201d and \u201cimmediately report\u00a0the\u00a0abuse and rape of a child to Indiana authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bernard was the sole source<\/a> for The Indianapolis Star\u2019s\u00a0viral article<\/a>\u00a0detailing how a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio crossed state lines in 2022 to obtain an abortion in Indiana.<\/p>\n
The Indiana Medical Licensing Board (MLB) agreed with Rokita last month that Bernard violated state privacy laws when she disclosed the story to the Star but did not act on Rokita\u2019s reporting failure allegations.<\/p>\n
Bernard was fined $3,000 for her malfeasance, but the MLB did not immediately say whether it would suspend her license. A source in Rokita\u2019s office told The Federalist that the MLB has yet to issue a final order detailing \u201c disciplinary proceedings<\/a>.\u201d The MLB still has a majority of its 90 days to issue that final order, and Bernard will have 30 days to respond.<\/p>\n
The last time the MLB seriously punished a doctor for abortion violations came in 2016 when it stripped Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, a mass abortionist, of his license for violating<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
